Marriage and the church (Clémanges; Jewel; Parker Society, ed., The works of John Jewel, 1848, 3rd portion)
Text: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry..." 1 Timothy 4:1-3
Quote:
Nicolaus de Clavengiis, complaining hereof, saith thus: Capellani et canonici similes episcopis, indocti, ebrii, scortatores9: "The chaplains and canons are like to the bishops, unlearned, drunken, and fornicators."
[9 De capellanis et canonicis qui similes sunt episcopis &c.—Rer. Mem. Paraleip. ad calc. Chronic. Abbat. Ursperg. Argent. 1537. p. 403.]
